Understanding Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to identify fractions on a number line using visualization techniques. It begins by showing how the space between 0 and 1 can be divided into equal parts to represent fractions. The tutorial uses rectangles to help visualize these fractions, demonstrating how to determine the fraction at a specific point on the number line. Two examples are provided: identifying 3/4 and 2/6 on the number line, with detailed explanations and visual aids to enhance understanding.

What is the fraction located at point A on the number line?

• 1/4

• 2/4

• 3/4

• 4/4

How many equal spaces is the section between 0 and 1 divided into for point A?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 5

In the visualization, how many fourths are shaded to represent point A?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What fraction is represented by point B on the number line?

• 3/6

• 1/6

• 4/6

• 2/6

How many equal sections is the space between 0 and 1 divided into for point B?

• 4

• 5

• 7

• 6

What is the first step in identifying the fraction at point B?

• Divide into fourths

• Divide into sixths

• Divide into thirds

• Divide into halves

How many sixths are needed to reach point B?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What is the whole represented by in the visualization for point B?

• A square

• A rectangle

• A triangle

• A circle

What is the fraction 2/6 equivalent to in terms of sixths?

• 1/6

• 3/6

• 4/6

• 2/6

Which point on the number line corresponds to 2/6?

• Point A

• Point C

• Point D

• Point B
